Ubuntu :: XP Install On VirtualBox From USB CD / DVD Drive
Mar 18, 2011
I am trying to install Windows XP on VirtualBox, using an external USB CD/DVD drive. VirtualBox boots to the CD/DVD and goes through the first part of the installation flawlessly. After XP restarts from the HD, however, it can't complete the installation because it can't find the files at "D:I386asms". (In fact, it doesn't seem to be able to access the CD/DVD drive at all.) I'm just guessing, but could this be because of how VirtualBox handles USB drives and/or because (if I recall) XP lacks native support for USB?
Hardware and software specs:
--Lenovo ThinkPad X201
--Asus SDRW-08D1S-U external USB CD/DVD drive
--Ubuntu 10.04.1 64-bit (kernel 2.6.32-30)
--VirtualBox 4.0.4 (from [URL])
--WinXP SP2 32-bit (original, retail install disc)

I want to install Fedora by live disk on virtualbox.
1. I ran the live disk, it works.
2. I click "Install to Hard Drive", it shows normal.
3. I complete the installition and reboot.
4. The live disk ran again, where is the OS installed on hard drive? or it was not installed at all?

I installed virtualbox xp, but now its installed, (i installed from my dvd drive!) it isnt picking up my dvd drive..SO.I thought if i added some 'shared folders', I could transfer the folders i needed from my virtual xp convertxtodvd instalation, then drag them into my proper unbuntu desktop, and then burn the files that way,.....Fat chance..Of course, I should realise by now that most things ubuntu does is not easy.I mean, this is absolute gibberish to me?Please tell my why i have to keep typing in code to use ubuntu!its not 1980!!Quote:really dont understand this..Or i may just have to switch back to xp.., i mean, im having to use an xp emulator anyway, lol.. whats the point in staying.

I am running VirtualBox on a Windows XP host. Red Hat Linux 5.2 GUI is running inside VirtualBox. I want to use my USB pen drive inside Red Hat - it is visible from Windows XP but not from Red Hat.
Can anyone tell me what might be the problem and how I should fix it? I am new to using Linux.

I have an issue with VirtualBox. My current setup is a machine running Fedora 10 with 1 Tb of disk space. I installed VirtualBox and created a fixed size disk image of 50 Gb for a virtual Windows XP64 OS. Now I require more disk space with additional 100 Gb. Is there a way to add another partition to the virtualized OS as if I added a new hard drive to the system?
In other words, I'd like to create another disk image by using additional space from the same physical drive and mount it under Windows XP in VirtualBox.

I installed in my Slackware 13.1 with generic kernel 2.6.33.4-smp VirtualBox packages taken from SlackBuilds.org (acpica, virtualbox-ose and virtualbox-kernel). Then for testing purposes I installed in VirtualBox Windows XP using CD-ROM drive connected to USB port. It's a lot of fun to see Windows as an application in Linux!
Now I'm trying to install in VirtualBox Linux Mint using either USB flash drive prepared with unetbootin or mere ISO image. Without success. It seems VirtualBox 3.2.10 OSE doesn't recognize either USB flash drives or ISO images though it recognizes CD-ROM drive connected to USB port. I found some advices searching Internet but all of them are useless.

I have installed the CentOS 5.4 Virtualbox, I downloaded the dvd.iso on my (windows xp) and I installed it straight from there.
Installation went ok, but whenever I start the Centos it boots from the dvd.iso and force me to install or upgrade it again.

I would like to install Ubuntu (latest stable) on a VirtualBox machine, set it up, install several apps, and then deploy it on a real PC. I think the main issue is the new hardware (which sould be different from the 'virtual' one). What should I do at that time? Is Ubuntu able to detect and install the new hardware?

My boss is asking me if there is any way to run a full version of Ubuntu from a flash drive without installing virtualbox/vmware on a windows host. I've been searching pendrivelinux.com and really haven't found anything. Can someone point me in the right direction?

how to install Sun VirtualBox? I have tried it three different ways and it fails on all. When I use the terminal to install it, the terminal fails to install any of the required packages. Have researched, but to no avail. It would be nice if there was just a single (maybe .deb) file to install. Sheesh, installing software in Ubuntu is so complicated!

I am currently running VirtualBox OSE but I need USB support. If I install the closed source version, is it possible to have it use the OSE's virtual machines or will I have to redo all of it?

I've got virtualbox running on 10.04. I install windows xp on it and everything goes smoothly. I installed it from an iso of XP, however, on the very first boot it says "Windows could not start normally" and gives me the option of safe mode, networking, or starting normally. No matter what I pick it just blue screens for a split second and restarts.

As a measure to improve my learning curve by experimenting and messing around with config files, I would like to install Ubuntu in Virtualbox in text only mode. This would save disk space, improve learn the OS better and also gives the freedom to mess around without worrying too much. Can anyone tell me how to install a simple version of Ubuntu 8.04 (that's the distro I choose since it requires lesser RAM than the current version) in virtualbox in text only mode? During the installation there doesn't seem to be a choice in installation modes. If not, should we install the OS normally and change the run levels afterwards to boot in text mode?

What is the best way to do this..and should it work well with F13? Can it be done with yum? I read here that you need to install Qt first but am not clear if that is really a requirement or if that can be done with yum as well:[URL]Are there any other installation requirements necessary? I saw posts mentioning specific kernel versions and deleting old kernels.... looking for the safest and simplest way to set this up

I'm on Fedora 14 and tried to install virtualbox using yum install virtualbox It seemed to install but wouldn't run and I got messages saying there was an issue with it not recognising the kernel. I used the Add/Remove software function and added the right kernel but on reboot it didn't complete the boot up process. I get as far as the loading progress bar being fully loaded but don't get to the login screen I've tried loading earlier kernels to no avail - the same issue.
I can access the install via my live CD but I'm not that experienced a user and how to proceed. My guess is I need to remove all the Virtualbox components but I don't know how from where I am.
